Hey again, thanks for all the help and commentary. It might actually happen for us, and I'm fired up about it...
I need some suggestions on the gear list--I fell like I've done my share of research and some degree of testing, I had originally expected to update our 80's jansport packs when we started adventure racing next year, but it seems the AT gave me a quick reminder--that I had once dreamed of taking a long walk into the woods.
So with that in mind, I pulled out the plastic and have been destroying the stores... I knew I was going to be outta control buying my first new setup in 20 years, but this has been crazy. It's really hard not to obsess on this crap all the time... So help me out w/ the load. Oh yes, thinking the sleep system will be comfy to about 20d-2 peeps. AFter all this, I'll probably hate it after a week, and /sigh? j/k hope not---(p.s--sorry about the format outta excel)
